We have had Whirlpool machines for 20 years or so because they are fast and have a good capacity.

We have had this machine for 18 months. There are just two of using it and the tub bearing failed.

Whirlpool want £662 to repair it or provide a new one for £595. We paid that amount for the original one.

After some correspondence with Whirlpool they said they would not offer any recompense for the failure even when advised how little use it had had.

So it's off to the supplier with the Sale of Goods Act in hand.

Whirlpool's customer care don't appear to care at all.

How to lose customers and influence people.

I'll report on how we get on with the LG replacement.
